Dear Friends,
Christmas
greetings in Jesus!
An early Thanks giving present
(is that even a
thing?) for me was being able to minister in Colón Panamá
via Zoom
meeting at a kidsmin convention. We have worked with Ligia
Vega and team from Templo
Renacer (Born Again Church) often in the past. We urged
the children to “fix
our eyes on Jesus” (from Heb. 12:2) using eye-tricking optical
illusions.
A new part of
itineration ministry for us has been drop-in visits along the
way to or from other churches. Either we drop off our material,
like Yvonne is doing here, or get to meet the pastor in person.
Often it results in a new ministry partnership via a service, or
at a minimum an open door for increased communication.
We are grateful for the flexibility of many of our
pastors and churches who graciously rescheduled us after
quarantine cancellations. Pastor Mick Thrasher and First AG
Church in Saint James MO serve as a great example. They welcomed
us back for a Wednesday night, sharing separately with the
adults and kids, spread out in the sanctuary and the gym. Pastor
Mick also serves as an example of faithfulness in ministry.
After the service he regaled us with stories of God’s miracles
and provision over the many years here as well as at previous
churches!
We trust you have
been able to give thanks in all circumstances. We sure try to as
well! We thank God for friends, family, and faithful supporters
like you. And for being able to share turkey dinner with a brief
visit from Grace.
¡We wish you all a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! For our
extended Christmas and New Year wishes, we invite you to check
your mailbox for our Holiday Issue Newsletter arriving later
this month. Or you can see the online
edition here. In it you
will see an important announcement, which you will probably
figure out in a moment.
Final
fundraising progress report update:
* WAS:
$2,000; NOW: $0 in new monthly support still
needed—PTL!!
* WAS:
$27,000; NOW: $0 cash budget lacking—PTL! Thanks to
your faithfulness and generosity! Now we are “saving up”
toward the $50,000 Ngobe camp infrastructure project.
We promise a family picture next issue after enjoying the Christmas holidays with all six of us together again.
Blessings!
Kirk & Yvonne
